Daily sketch page, day 2

Trying to incorporate stuff I learned from portrait road. Drew my OC this time. Struggling with keeping face looking the same in all angles (and fail :x)

David

One thing I constantly struggle with is rendering it always feels as if I’m missing a step or theirs a gap between my knowledge. Feel free to critique my lighting, shading, and etc.

Mermaid

Made improvment of the hands.

WIP Jay Enhypen

I am struggling with capturing his face from my refrence, I made a mistake with choosing my reference a bit, I chose the refrence pose where the face wasn't fully visible and used other refrence for his face so I had to adjust the face angle and how he is looking at the viewer which led to facial structure changes, I can't add my reference in this site because it doesn't support more images. I want you to help me with how do I make look more like Jay.

Page 2 (day 2) Trying to be consistent with the challenge. In this drawing, can someone teach me how to make simple backgrounds? ( Other adivces is good too!)

Some arm studys. I wanted to practice the anatomy for the ice arm of the eleven archer character

About linework in general

I finished it by adding this little walrus imp thing. I believe this is currently the absolute limit of my abilities. If there is anything to improve in this i am currently blind to it. I see this as a problem, since if i do not recognize my mistakes i cannot improve further, therefore if anyone can poke holes in this it would be deeply appreciated. Or maybe i should just start learning values already, since linework is kinda the only thing i've ever done.

Ice archer

I got some feedback and tried Applying it, but my request still stands. I think it’s better now, but it could be even better, so any advice on the render or materials like the leather or the ice would help. Thanks!

Behemoth thumbnail idea

I feel like I’m struggle with a few parts to this piece. First one is just the anatomy of the giant. The stomping foot over the figure seems off or maybe it’s the alignment of the back leg. I feel like I like this angle and composition but maybe it’s not as believable as it should be? Any help would be amazing! Also I’m sure I should adjust the colors too, it’s supposed to be a snowy mountain like landscape but I didn’t really set up a good foundation to depict that. Many thanks to all you talented helpers!
